Made by Google Event 2024


Google pushed its hardware event up by two months to beat the iPhone, and the Pixel 9 series is their most polished hardware yet. The new industrial design mimics the iPhone’s flat sides, and the build quality finally feels premium.

But the story is Gemini. It’s fully integrated into the OS. You can now talk to Gemini Live in a natural conversation. The “Add Me” camera feature, which uses AR to merge two photos so the photographer can be in the group shot, is clever and genuinely useful tech that solves a real human problem.
